Find out how you can benefit from a Manufacturing solution
Manufacturing
We provide solutions for everything from one-off bespoke manufacturing processes through to high volume repeat production. With versatile manufacturing software you are able to cater for most scenarios without the need for bespoke or niche software. This means that you have one joined up system as well as one version of the truth.

Material Resource Planning (MRP)
Material Resource Planning (MRP)
We design MRP systems to be the backbone of all things purchasing, both in manufacturing businesses as well as non-manufacturing businesses. If you have a supply chain process and deal with stock, then it could be a solution that is worth considering. Similarly by analysing demand (Sales Orders, Sales Forecasts, Free Stock and Stock Replenishment Rules) MRP will make recommendations for both purchasing and shop floor production (Works Orders). This allows many aspects of the business to be more self sufficient. There is also less reliance on human knowledge and more cost efficiency with regard to cash flow and stock retention.
- Automated
The manufacturing system will work for you to decide what you need, when you need it and from where. - Integrated
With seamless integration between MRP and the source elements (Sales, Purchasing, Stock) there is nothing for you to do except review and action the results. - Just In Time (JIT)
Ensure you are only receiving what you need and when you need it. This benefits stock holding, cashflow as well as the environment due to MRP considering supplier batch and delivery quantities. - Efficient
You will also have full visibility on when production processes should start and end. This allows you to manage shop floor, people and machines more efficiently
Works Order Processing (WOP)
Works Order Processing (WOP)
With our process led works order system you can easily create, maintain and change your shop floor operational data. With feature rich stock, sub-contract and operational processes included, all aspects of your manufacturing process will be taken care of. Works order processing has full integration with the back-office software for finance, stock, projects and comprehensive bill of materials. This gives full control over stock allocation, issuing of stock, as well as work in progress (WIP). Not only that but job completion and full auditability at all stages is included.
- Real Time
Get a real time view of stock that you allocate for production. But also what resides in work in progress (WIP). See who, what, when and where at all times - Cost Visibility
Always have an accurate cost analysis for jobs. So you can action more meaningful and insightful decision making - Traceability
Full component, sub-assembly as well as finished item traceability as standard. This ensures all elements of production/assembly are tracked and also keep to ISO compliant levels. - Integrated
Fully integrated with all back office systems meaning instant reporting plus analysis of the shop floor. This includes efficiencies as well as costs.
Bill of Materials (BOM)
Bill of Materials (BOM)
A BOM helps simplify sometimes complex processes but also gives transparency. Perhaps most importantly for inventory management and purchasing teams, a BOM provides a clear list of materials, quantities as well as processes (routing) for the manufacturing or assembly process. This allows an instant and clear picture of what is required to fulfill a sales or stock demand. But without the need for long winded and disjointed steps.
- Diverse
Ability to manage a diverse BOM structure ranging from the simple single level through to a multi-level sub-assembly structure with no theoretical limit - Version Control
Ability to retain audit history of BOM record changes but also only initiate revisions when you are ready. - Trial Kit
Ability to see if you have any shortages in advance, so this allows you to overcome obstacles before they appear - Batch Changes
Ability to update, remove as well as replace bill of material records and components quickly and easily - Traceability
Full batch/serial number traceability built in where required so as to ensure full accountability within the system
Estimating
Estimating
For businesses that assemble or manufacture goods that are either customisable or bespoke to their customers’ requirements, an estimating solution from EBS will allow you to accurately handle this. This is seamlessly incorporated into the MRP and Works Order Processing systems. And once approved, your estimates can be released to production in the same way as a standard product.
- Continuity
Estimates are built in a similar way to works orders. This means your data structure as well as analysis will be consistent across all areas. - Streamlined
Create new products and bill of material records at the click of a button from within an estimate so you can save both time and duplication. - Accurate
Add components, labour, machinery, comments in addition to non-stock costs to create accurate estimated finished product costs. Future buy prices can also be entered into estimates if different from current buy prices. - Conversion
Convert estimates to works orders with minimal effort and zero manual entry.
Shop Floor Data Capture (SFDC)
Shop Floor Data Capture (SFDC)
This android-based application allows for easy and quick, seamless interaction with systems as well as processes for the shop floor. So operatives can capture data accurately and efficiently. Enabling them to spend their valuable time doing what needs to be done instead of on a system. By also incorporating the use of barcodes this further increases shop floor productivity by removing the need for any keyboard or screen interaction.
- Cost Effective
Functionality through android applications keeps device costs to a minimum but still provides everything, and more, required. - Real Time
Data is created and updated as soon as it is processed by production operatives, with no waiting for synchronisations to run or connection to be made - Time and Attendance
Along with production you will also be able to record timesheets and attendance for your staff with full visibility within one system
Project / Job Costing
Project / Job Costing
Project solutions allow for fully integrated cost as well as revenue analysis across multiple industries, in turn giving you real time profitability and tracking of project performance. With simple or complex structures, a projects module from EBS will give you the flexibility you need so you can handle almost any scenario.
- Integrated
Seamlessly communicates with Sales, Purchasing, Stock, SFDC and WOP with full financial tracking and financial postings. - Costing
Estimated, Committed and Actual costs are fully visible which means you are never in the dark about a project. - Templates
Create project templates to aid in the creation of new projects saving time as well as reducing the risk of entry errors across the board. - Drill-down
High level analysis with the ability to drill all the way down to transactional data for a full and comprehensive view.
Case Management (CMS)
Case Management (CMS)
Whether it be a customer complaint, or a service request or incident management, a CMS system could be the answer to enabling your business to efficiently manage the processes and actions that may result. Full accountability and tracking also mean that you are historically accurate should things happen again or retrieval of information be required.
- Workflow
Create simple or advanced workflows with customisable actions so you ensure data and process continuity. - Decrease Paperwork
With a centralised CMS system you minimise the reliance on paperwork allowing you to store documentation digitally - Promotes Collaboration
With an efficient and robust system in place your people will work more closely to manage their workload resulting in happier staff as well as satisfied customers and suppliers. - Effective
Customers receive a more personal and efficient service resulting in improved customer satisfaction in addition to higher customer retention.
More Benefits
With a manufacturing system from EBS you are able to choose which elements will best fit your requirements. You are also able to approach implementations in a phased approach to make larger projects much more manageable for your business and your staff, which will greatly reduce any risk and improve internal uptake of new systems.
